As Christmas approaches, we at Shufflenet would like to present to you the final, twelfth Post of Christmas, and also an early present.
Guide the four flames around the room while collecting jewels and avoiding spikes. But there’s a catch: they can only move once they have touched a rock. How far can you get?

#6 The Mutilated Chess Board
The props for this problem are a chessboard and 32 dominoes. Each domino is of such size that it exactly covers two adjacent squares on the board. The 32 dominoes therefore can cover all 64 of the chessboard squares. But now suppose we cut off two squares at diagonally opposite corners of the board and discard one of the dominoes. Is it possible to place the 31 dominoes on the board so that all the remaining 62 squares are covered? If so, show how it can be done. If not, prove it impossible.
We challenge you to take on Shufflenet’s winter Block Puzzle. Seven blocks must be arranged perfectly into the square, leaving one remaining piece. But there is a trick. Can you solve it?
